Work ON the Lick Observatory

All of the iron work made in this CITY
for the great Lick Observatory on Mount
Hamilton has now been shipped to San
Jose, and most of it is on the summit of
the mountain. Captain Floyd of the Lick
Trust, is there experimenting the putting
together of the great structure. All that
is delaying the great work now is that por-
ton of the observatory that is being made
in Cleveland o.; but there is no reason to
fear that the telescope will not be in work
ing order by the date already announced
July LIST.
Just as soon as Charles NJ. Plum, one of
the Lick Trustees, returns from the East,
the Trustees will set about fulfilling the
thirteenth clause of the Lick Trust deed.
This provides for the construction, as the
deed reads, :" of group of bronze statuary
well worth 100000, which shall represent
by appropriate designs and figures, the
history of California first, from the
earliest settlement of the Mission to the
acquisition of California by the United
States; second, from such acquisition by
the United States to the time when agrf-
culture became the leading interest of the
State; third, from the last-named period to
January l, 1874" The statuary is to be
erected on the piece of land known as the
City Hall place. on the Market-street side
of the new City Hall. A plat of ground
was set apart by the Supervisors May g.
1886, for this purpose. The matter of Sc
curing appropriate designs will be the first
subject for consideration.-S. T. Bulletin.

that it not only can but frequently has
surpassed the south in both floral and
horticultural exhibits Our fruits exceed
those of the southern sections in variety
greatly, and in about all lines surpass them
in quality. Pre-eminently the central and
northern sections are the fruit and flower
growing regions of California. They will
yield superiority to none-more that this,
they will not admit, taking the country as
a whole, that any attain to their standard
of excellence. Let our brethren of the
south formulate the test-the north has
not the slightest fear of the outcome. 1t
will show for their garden spots, miles upon
miles of natural gardens adorned with
floral luxuriance as no others are; for the
highly cultivated but circumscribed val
leys of the south, poisoning as the rose,
they will point to the boundless plains
and rolling foothills for hundreds of miles,
where nature has lavished her richest
floral treasures upon the scene, and accom-
plished her rarest painting upon canvas
of such extent and wondrous beauty as to
put to the blush all rival spectacles. As
we have said, for every fruit the south
produces we will show its like, and add
others it has not.
Here is field for contest where neither
section will take harm, both will benefit,
and there need enter in no other sentiment
than that of generous, manly, helpful
rivalry. The north, without deprecating
the sister counties of the south, cannot
permit Mayor Workman's challenge to
pass unanswered, or refuse to honor it with
acceptance

MAJOR JIMMY BAss-In the April Cen
tuy t. Uncle Remus tells and Kemble
illustrates a story of Southern life, whose
scene is laid at the beginning of and dur
ing the war. One of the characters is Ma
jor jimmy Bass, who is apt to get excited,
and once had "cussed out the town. The
following bit gives pen-picture of the Ma
jor's remarkable campaigns at Perdue's Cor
ner Sometimes between dozes he would
make his way to Perdues Corner and dis
cuss the various campaigns. How MANY
desperate campaigns were fought on that
Corner All the older citizens who found
it convenient or necessary to stay at home
had in them the instine and emotions of
great commanders. They knew how de-
feat could be wrung from victory, and how
success could be made more overwhelming.
AT Perdue's Corner Washington City was
taken not less than dozen times a week,
and occasionally both New York and Bos-
ton were captured and sacked OF all the
Generals who fought their battles at the
Corner, Major Jimmy Bass was the most
energetic, the most daring and the most
sklllful. As strategist he had no superior.
He had way of illustrating the feasibility
of his plans by drawing them in the sand
With his cane. Fat as he was, the Major
had way of surrounding the enemy so
that no avenue was left for his escape. At
Perdues Corner he captured Scott. and Nc
Clellan, and Joe Hooker, and John Pope.
and held their entire forces as prisoners of
war;

a session of the Legislature !:

THE evidence of the Hyde Park demon
stration is positive that the middle and
laboring classes of England now give a
majority support to Mr.. Gladstones Irish
policy. If it comes to vote, it is prob
able that such verdict viii be rendered.
1t could not have been given two years
ago, but the Tories have put upon the
camel's back the final straw England is
rapidly developing home-rule sentiment
No other political doctrine in a half a
century has thriven so well there as that
Unless the English people are more vacil-
lating than their history has shown them
to be, the anti-coercion sentiment viii be-
come the law of the Empire within the
next six months.

DIRT ON THE MIND" Recollections o
Ny Mother" by Susan 7. Lesley, gives an
interesting picture of life in Northampton
fifty years ago. The mother was Mrs. Ly-
man, famous for her hospitality and her
devotion to reading. Here is suggestive
bit for housekeepers. One day a friend
came in who had but just visited Mrs. -,
who was one of the exquisite housekeepers.
She began to tell my mother about the
perfect condition of that house from garnet
to cellar, and rang the changes on the
brightness of the brasses, the admirable
shine of the glass and silver, the entire alb
sence of dust on every carpet. My mother
stood it just as long as she could, though
fidgeting uneasily in her chair. Then she
exclaimed: g / think Mrs. - is the dirti-
est person | ever saw in my lifeli' "Oh,
Mrs. Lyman, what can you mean ~ cried
the friend. What say is true said my
mother. bringing down her hand with
much force on the table. From the ris-
ing of the sun to tie going down of the
same that woman's mind is on dirt, sees
dirt, is fighting dirt, the livelong day. Now
/ would rather see more of it on the carpet
and less of it on her mind. - Boston Record.

TAXING DISPATCHES BY THE TYPEwR1TER.
The system of taking dispatches by the
type-writing machine" said an old teleg-
rapher yesterday, q is proving a great sue
cess. By the new process the capacity of
wire is increased twenty-five per cent,
thus enabling the company TO perform
greater feats of telegraphing than ever be-
fore. 1t takes some time for the operator
10 learn how to manipulate the machine
with sufficient speed to keep pace with a
good sender but when he once masters
the thing he can perform twenty-five per
cent. more work than he can with pen or
stylus, and perform it, too, with far less ex-
ertion and mental strain. So expert have
some of the operators become that great
deal of press matter is sent in abbreviated
form for no other reason than that the
sender cannot 'whoop' the stuff through
fast enough by the old process to keep the
receiver at his knitting. There isn't q
sender living who can put it up the back
OF the expert typewriter artist. = Chicago

TOO EASY OF AMENDMENT.

The San Francisco Alta well says " The
Constitution should be amended in respect
to the method for its amendment" The
REcoRD-UNIoN pointed out the deplorable
weakness of the organic Act prior to its
adoption in this respect, and has repeat
eddy called attention to it since. The
Constitution of California is, indeed, by
reason of this defect no Constitution as
such instruments are generally understood,
but means of speedy direct legislation
by the people. a Constitution that can
be ripped up from top to bottom inside of
a week and made over is not such an in
strument as should underlie State govern
ment and society. As it is, any Legisla-
ture can propose any number of amend
ments and force the people to vote upon
them inside of few hours. This fact con-
stitutes an element of weakness that is, in
fact, constant menace to property pos
sessions. There is not that stability under
it that such an instrument should in
sure. We like the plan of the Alto, that
the amendment shall be first approved at
session of the Legislature:
Then. preceding the election of members of
the next ensuing Legislature, the amendment
should be advertised in every county in the
State, with notice to the voters that the legis-
lators for whom they vote will be called upon
TO affirm or reject the same at the next session
of the Legislature. This insures a complete
discussion of the amendment on the stump and
in the press and such a canvass of its merits
and dement's as to carry into the second Legis-
lature which must act upon it, an intelligent
register of public opinion.
1t is probable than an amendment pro-
posed to make amendment more difficult
and deliberate would meet with almost
the unanimous approval of the people.
The next Legislature will be called upon
to address itself to this subject, and the
people in the meantime should consider
the matter and send up representatives in
1889 thoroughly in sympathy with them
upon 1t.
